A British developer has released free web editors for the Behringer CZ-1 Mini, JT-4000M, UB-1 Micro, and JT Mini synthesizers.
The small, very affordable Behringer synthesizers, available in analog or hybrid versions, are very popular. Starting at just 49€, you get a small, fully functional Synthesizer with a colorful palette of sounds.
Due to their very small, compact size, operation is somewhat limited, and many functions are hidden in menus. A British developer has designed a series of free web editors that give you full access to all their parameters right from your browser.
Web Editors Behringer CZ-1 Mini…
An unknown British developer has released free web editors for four Behringer synthesizers. The newest is for the Behringer CZ-1 Mini, which is based on the Casio CZ series.
Many will likely be pleased with this one, as the CZ-1 Mini offers plenty of parameters to tweak. Besides this newcomer, there are also web editors for the UB-1 micro, JT-4000M, and JT Mini.
Editors for the Phara-O Mini, Pro-VS Mini, and the UB-Xa Mini are not yet available. I expect these will be added in the future.
Clicking the link at the end of the article will take you to the CZ-1 Mini Editor. If you want a different editor, you need to tap the three lines in the upper right corner and select “Other Editors” from the menu.
Each editor provides access to all synth parameters except the sequencer. The CZ-1 Mini editor also has a randomizer for each section.
Saving presets is not currently possible. Important: The editors only work in browsers that support Web MIDI. For example, Google Chrome, Vivaldi, Firefox, and others.
The new web editors for the Behringer CZ-1 Mini… are available now for free.

It is a shame that the quality of Behringer’s products has disappointed me several times already. I have had multiple repairs and returns in the past. And that for a private company worth billions.
Well, I’ve had that from well reputed companies like M-Audio and Alesis. I have several Behringer products, some from 20 years ago, and I’ve had no problems with any of them. It’s well known that in c. 2008 their new factory and work practices removed the historical unreliability that they had suffered from. I’m sensing anti – Behringer propaganda?
I remember a thread on a different website where someone had returned their Deepmind for repairs two or three times … Before they were even available! So yeah, take these kind of posts with a pinch of salt.
So far I can’t fault the Behringer clones, and rate the Pro VS Mini, the MS-5, the TD3 MO, the LM Drum as way better than the originals! The Pro VS was not really comparable to the original which was fantastic, but for the price it’s great. Some people have found some of Behringer’s products not up to the standards they expect, but I’ve had no trouble, and have a 10 year old Deepmind that’s still great after many years. Behringer have done wonders for ‘hardware’ which was dying in the digital realm of plugins and cloud services. While Behringer are not the only company who deserve our money (by a long way), they’re important to the idea of affordable, quality hardware.
